Multiplayer Progress Update

Hello Travelers, and welcome to the August multiplayer update!

I am once again excited to provide you with a status update on the development progress as we’ve made great strides since July’s Update.

The goal for this update will be to talk to each of the points I brought up last month, as well as mention some of our major goals for the coming month. It’s worth noting that we are also hard at work releasing the ...

I would include the assumption that “visually incredible/performance oriented” will also account for this as much as we can. But this is a pretty theoretical conversation on outcomes we’ll have to recognize as they appear.

You will notice in this update that I mention that players are now saved online in our current Multiplayer environment. You cannot manipulate those files, and subsequently those characters. It’s going to be server authoritative.

We would definitely not want to limit MTX visuals, and we are to be as crafty as humanly possible to ensure that MTX are both visually incredible while being performance oriented.

For example, we’d not disable others’ MTX pets, I was referring to minions that are part of gameplay.

It’s not currently planned for 1.0. VOIP is it’s own set of servers, hosting considerations, account integrations, and more, it’s fun!

1. It is not the Bazaar.

2. We’re aware of that situation and one of the other questions I answered here addresses that we’ll be ensuring that your personal experience is a bit less gruesome, both from a visual and technical standpoint.

It’s not currently planned. What we have planned for loot instancing is in the FAQ

1. Right now it’s about 2.5 screens worth of distance. We haven’t finalized what our final goal will be here. We’ll put it in the FAQ when we have!

2. You will see limited VFX/minion from your group members. We want to do this in a way that still looks good while also achieving our technical goals, but performance will matter the most. We have been thinking about this particular topic for quite a long time already and we are very aware of this FPS killing risk

Hello Travelers, and welcome to the first multiplayer monthly update!

I’m very excited to say that we’re now at the point that we are going to be able to keep you all more in the loop with regards to multiplayer development. Where before we’ve often relied on “informal” conversations through in-game chat, forum comments, and reddit replies, we are now going to be able to produce regular updates. I wi...

Hi all!

We actually found the source of this issue. It requires some testing and optimizing, but we anticipate to have it in tomorrow’s hotfix, rather than today’s.

Thank you!

Yeah, we took a peek. It’s not the effect itself, it’s one of our key performance issues that we’re currently already in the process of fixing, which is optimizing the spawning of things.

Hello!

With the new patch you should see changes in your Monolith Quest State. Is this still an issue?

Thanks! We have this marked internally but we might also discuss Disintegrate soon; if there’s a quick fix we’ll hit it otherwise we might address it in a more holistic look at the skill.

Hi!

Our endgame system has changed significantly with this patch - Could you see what your functionality is like in this new patch?

Thanks!

These can be tricky to find, so we’ll hopefully see it in further internal testing.

Thanks!

We have this recorded, we’ll take a look.

Thanks!

We made some changes to Shift over the current patch, let us know if you can still do some of this.

Thanks! We’ve got it recorded internally.

Thanks! We have it marked to fix.
